We have a similar image on
http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html

I honestly don't think it will make it any clearer w.r.t. bindings.
Also, technically it's not necessary that a consumer does the binding.
Any app can do it, it's just that the code that consumes messages has more
information about queues. We may mention that it is more common for
consuming services to do the binding. 

By the way, RabbitMQ mailing list has a new home:
https://groups.google.com/group/rabbitmq-users

Please post your future questions and bug reports there :)
